I know it sounds pretty selfish but I really hope coronavirus doesnt end up impacting enough people to warrant delaying the next gen console launch. Id rather there be a limited launch with supply constraints than a delay honestly.

I'm gonna go ahead and post it. It's from another site from our own BGs.
If it's against the rules shut it down Transistor

This is his interpretation of what he thinks of Sony's situation

weeks? no. just three days.

he actually replied to me when i pointed out he said bingo to the math, not the CU count.

Klee's reply: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ne...ark-tower-see-staff-post.159131/post-27484006

Klee has been nothing but open about everything. he has given us detailed impressions of the game he saw. he has literally quoted the conversations he had with his source regarding double digit tflops. he went into almost dangerous level of detail when recounting his trip to california. he has given us our name, his credentials and has been vetted by with two different ADMINS on this board. Sure they cant verify his info but he has shared that info with them.

no one has been this open about the info and their sources. not even tom warren or jason.
The longer period from last Klee post the less team Klee supporters but thats normal I guess, if he would post something today we will have different narrative

I understand what you mean, there's some progressive discourse but it always seems to be dragged back into last year by the same individuals again and again. It's been going on for a few OT's now. I just dont feel it's healthy to allow it. There is a fine line between discussion and passive aggressive trolling in this thread. Or this new wave of concern trolling "We're all worried about Sony! Why are they so quiet???"

I look foward to a newly divorced thread.
I feel you. The hostility and circling-back was one of the main reasons I stepped in here in the first place. Things will calm down when Sony announces their stuff.

Until then?

We're watching, so play nice everyone, mmkay?

he said that in a PM and clarified that things are subject to change. it was not meant to be shared. if it was he wouldve said it in the thread.
Reveal date is the easiest to change (not tied to event schedule, financial calendar etc.), and the most likely to change (games aren't ready, policies not defined) because you want to provide a good show with a strong, clear message.

OK,
9.1TF for RTX 2070 Super @1770MHz
8.9TF for RX 5700XT @1755MHz

9.1TF GPU beats 8.9TF GPU by 15% despite the difference in TF being less than 2%. So again Turing still has an IPC advantage over RDNA1.

And let's repeat again
8.9TF for RX 5700XT @1755MHz
7.4TF for RTX 2070 @1620MHz

7.4TF GPU ties a 8.9TF GPU despite the difference in TF being 20%, So again Turing still has an IPC advantage over RDNA1.
Again with incomplete data? I thought I asked you to pay attention to actual clocks of the GPUs you are claiming are 15% higher.

I guess you can't help yourself but try to skew the results in some way.

You claimed that Turing TF is 15% more efficient than Navi, so why are you not accounting for thermal design and actual clock differences in your tests?

I already stated that in my opinion Nvidia GPU is better due to better thermal design and cards reaching much higher than stated clocks. We all know that AMD tries to inflate their numbers and Nvidia deflate theirs so we must somehow account for that when testing ACTUAL TF performance differences and not theoretical no?

If TU106 was designed for 1410MHz and was overclocked to 1500MHz and loses to RX5700 that is also overclocked to 1500MHz removing all the inconsistencies in advertising what does that tell you?

When you say something along the lines like 5 Nvidia TF perform 15% better than 5 Navi TF means you need to set both cards at that rate and make sure they don't go over or under and then perform the test otherwise you are testing everything else besides what you claimed.


I haven't seen a more accurate test out there testing pure TF performance differences than the one I showed you a screenshot of.

I don't think there's a single insider; solid ones.. possibly fake ones.. who hasn't said the 9.2 TF is bunk.
Reasons I think Github is irrelevant to final PS5 specs:

1 I believe the PS5 is RDNA 2.0.
2. I don't think RDNA 2.0 was ready when they began spinning up the first version of Oberon. And even if it was, I don't think four model revisions, each with it's own model number, is some insignificant change that wouldn't result in an increase to CU's.
3. I agree with anexanhume that if Sony was targeting 8-9 TF's, they did so knowing that MS was targeting 12 TF's, and I don't think that's believable.

Could I be wrong? Sure, but I don't think I am.

This thread is always a ride.

There's a ton of information and speculation on all sides, but the one reason I think PS5 will be double digit TF is simply to match or exceed Stadia. There are tons of ways to make PS5 an incredible and balanced machine at 9TF, but people are going to be non stop about that number if it's under Stadia's.

I think he's just trolling... not worth wasting your time.
Tbh I too expected RDNA to be architecturally inferior than Turing, that's not about RT and machine learning stuff, but rather some architectural improvements on shader execution since Volta. But here they are! What a pleasant surprise.

See Ronin, i dont care for this. github, hbm, sony's reveal plans or lack thereof are all valid discussion points and trying to stifle them will have the Streisand effect and then result in mass bannings. who wants that?

now you've got mods involved and are pressuring them to react and start banning people because you view their criticisms of sony's marketing strategy as 'concern trolling'.

you wont be able to keep out the github truthers from the divorced thread either. there is nothing stopping them. i am a sony fan and as we approach e3 which sony has refused to attend, i will be talking about their complete PR silence in that thread. so what then? will you start banning sony fans from that thread?

we are in the end game now. once the specs are revealed, it's all over. the party ends. we all disperse. there is no reason for this thread or this community anymore. we will have to go into the first party threads and i dont know about you, but i'd rather slit my wrists. lets enjoy our final days together without trying to get each other banned over a difference of opinion.

But the thing is that alleged ~9 TF Navi class GPU in PS5 is better then 10.7 TF Vega GCN class in Stadia.

I genuinely believe XSX and PS5 will be the same console aside form factor and logo. Performance will be so similar for 3rd parties that DF will cry due to lack of controversy in their test.

I like the way you think. Except the wrist-slitting part. That sounds bad.

a 7.9 tflops 5700 easily outperforms the vega 56 in stadia. hell it outperforms the 12.6 tflops vega 64.

jason had said they are targeting to beat stadia's NUMBER, not performance.

I love how people keep referring to how he said it has more teraflops (10.7) than Stadia. But then forget that right after he says this:

"Anyway, I don't know for sure what next-gen specs will look like. I have no idea how many teraflops there'll be. A dev recently told me that a lot of people within studios are just making assumptions based on limited information, and that one of the assumptions is that everything's going to be twice as powerful. "

If anything, the twice as powerful assumption is aging well.

Yeah, totally, but the number is smaller. Haha. It's ridiculous, but I actually think now that things got boiled down to some dumb number in 4000 pt bold font on a screen, there is a danger that word of mouth just starts spreading that it's "even weaker than Stadia of all things!"

I also just believe the other insiders that Series X and PS5 will be close, too.

Like, how many days/months/years would it take to design a console and how close to release can you change the gpu without messing up the plan?

So, you guys are thinking that PS5 will be 14 TFlops going off recent posts? So more powerful than Xbox?
I'm expecting the PS5 to be within the ballpark of the Series X when it comes to TFlops. If there's a difference for or against the PS5 compared to the XSX, I'd imagine that it'll be minor (Ex: 11.6 TF for PS5 vs. 12 TF for XSX). Either way, I'd imagine that the PS5 will be in the double digits.

If the question form is enabled by default I do not know, nor if it will be available during AMD's Financial Analyst Day 2020 tomorrow March 5, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST. But hopefully participants will be able to ask questions. This is obviously reserved for analysts, but anyone can access the webcast.

Perhaps with a little luck we could get some new PS5 information during this.

I assume this means that both are for-sure RDNA2 (I'd watch the video if I wasn't in class right now)?

I think the argument wasn't over whether the PS5 would have ray tracing but whether it would be RDNA 2.0. I believe it is RDNA 2.0.
